OK, so the Brooklyn Metalfest was a smashing success, but it just wasn’t the same for Magus Beast.
Yes the Festival itself was awesome, with two Bone Crushing days of Metal with such greats as Ross
the Boss, Cities, M.O.D, Seven Witches, Brand New Sin and so many other killer bands, but we
unfortunately had to pull off the show without Ron being able to perform.
He was unfortunately pulled away due to some pressing family matters that had to be tended to.
It was and will be the only time that Magus Beast will perform without Ron.
George from Devils Island stepped in on a moment’s notice and did a great job of filling in for us.
So we say THANK YOU to George for stepping up to the plate and helping out at the last minute.

Fear not though, The Beast is already back to its old self with more shows scheduled for this summer.
While we have a few others in the works, we can definitely announce that we will be part of the Metal
Meltdown series of shows at Don Hills on Thursday August 2nd as part of Metal Meltdown 3.
Come on down and support the scene and have a blast with the Beast as they share the stage with
Castrofate, Gods of Fire, Until Destiny and Turrigenous.
Hit up the shows page for more details, and you can always find out the latest at the
Magus Beast MYSPACE page.

See you real soon!!!

New Metal Haven in Williamsburg, NY - Magus Beast would like to welcome Studio B.
We were pleased to share the stage with German Thrash Legends Destruction and
Canada’s own Into Eternity. The temperature outside was well beyond freezing but
THE METAL INSIDE WAS MOLTEN!!!! (yeah - I am a DICK!). In all seriousness, the
show was pretty awesome. Its hard to believe that there are still that many
metalheads in Williamsburg Brooklyn.

With great regret, Magus Beast had to cancel their last 2 shows. Both shows had
to be cancelled due to some issues that were beyond anyone’s control. We are and
never have been a band that cancels shows. Hell, we have been playing together
for 20 yrs or so and maybe we had to cancel like 4 or 5 shows. We apologize to
anyone and everyone who may have purchased tickets for these shows.
Look for Ron at the bar at the next show and he will he will gladly buy you a
drink!!

Keep checking back as we have plenty more shows being added to the schedule. We
will also be making major announcements for our 2nd Annual Brooklyn Metalfest.
What we can tell you is this year’s festival has grown to become a 2 day event
which will be held on Friday June 22nd and Saturday June 23rd at The Hook in
Brooklyn. While last year’s festival was great, this year’s will BLOW THE
FUCKING ROOF OFF THE PLACE!!!!

Well here we go. A few new things have happened in the Magus Beast camp and
we think if you show interest in the band than you should know what is going
on. First and foremost it is with great regret and sadness that our drummer Bob
has left the band due to medical reasons. We had a blast playing with him and
he will be sorely missed.

Well we aren't ones to sit on our asses so we went to an old friend and
asked to play a few important shows with us and the mighty Testament. Tony we
can't thank you enough for helping us out, hopefully there will be many more
screaming metal heads in the near future.

Now on to the past shows. Testament and Magus beast at the Starland
Ballroom, fucking unbelieveable... enough said. Now for the Testament and Magus
Beast show at The Crazy Donkey. What the fuck!!! Is the New York metal scene
asleep at the wheel? The place was packed but the crowd is either standing
there dead or no one gives a shit about metal anymore. What the hell did you
people even come out of the house or crawl out from under that rock for? If your
going to just stand there and clap like your at a girl scout meeting go back to
the meeting than. You people need to let loose, scream say fuck yeah that was
awesome move around a little. I mean you had some real killer warmup bands up
there: Constricted, Magus Beast and Devils Island to name a few, and from what I
witnessed it seems like you really didn't give a shit. What a shame. Well that's
enough of that, until we meet again...
